Crying Crying never did nobody no good no how That's why I don't cry That's why I don't cry Laughing Laughing sometimes does somebody some good somehow That's why I, I'm laughing now That's why I, I'm laughing now Loving Loving never did me no good no how, no how That's why I can't love you now That's why I can't love you now Lying Lying never did nobody no good no how, no how So why am I lying now? So why am I lying now? So why am I lying now?

Before I reach the sky above I'll stretch my hands forever young Catching the rain In the middle of a summer storm There's a fire on 41 Sirens fading to a hum The only escape Takes me right back where I started from Oh, life won't be here long But heaven knows I've had it all 'Cause I was yours for a while I was yours for a while If I could let my demons go If time could mend a broken soul Maybe one day I could bring love to a world so cold Oh, life won't be here long And heaven knows what I'll become But I was yours for a while I was yours for a while

Oh, don't you save me from hanging on I tell myself what we had is gone And after all that I put you through I get knocked out like I never knew It kept me real 'til I'm moving on But you can't leave feeling like you did no wrong It's a shame I can't get it together now It's a shame we can't get it together now Cause I'm aching but I fell right in when you gave me up Those golden days snuck away from us Lately, I've been close but I'm up to trouble Those golden days keep you hanging on It kept me real 'til I'm moving on But you can't leave feeling like you did no wrong It's a shame I can't get it together now It's a shame we can't get it together now Cause I'm searching for those golden days Cause I'm searching for those golden days

Well, it made no sense at all Until you came along I'm afraid you're letting go 'Cause the only life I've ever known Used to be lonely Lonely Used to be lonely Lonely When long days knock you down When cold winds turn me round Take me out into the night 'Cause the only way to spend our time Used to be lonely Lonely Used to be lonely Lonely Used to be lonely Lonely Used to be lonely Lonely

I could spend my life Out where the redwoods grow I could pass the time Watchin' the rivers roll 'Til we're back together, dancin' slow To the sound of the radio And I remember lonely nights Waiting for the sunrise I was lost, but I'm Makin' my way back home Darlin', I don't mind Livin' my life alone 'Til we're back together, dancin' slow To the sound of the radio And I remember lonely nights Waiting for the sunrise Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na

We'll make a living darlin', down the road Cause I've got you holding on to see where it goes So don't you feel lonely I want you to know I can take you out I wanna drive around With you with the windows down And we can run all night When I was walking around I couldn't see you alone I bought a trash heap two-seat what did we know? So don't you feel lonely no matter where we go I wanna take you out I wanna drive around With you with the windows down And we can run all night Hey mama, don't slow down Na, na, na, na, na I wanna take you out I wanna drive around With you with the windows down And we can run all night
